A Definitive List of the 15 Best Comedies on Netflix Right Now

I'm a huge Netflix fan and always have something on in the background. But when it comes to unwinding, I watch the best comedies on Netflix. Yes, I dabble in dramas and documentaries—and counted down to season two of The Crown—but comedy is best when it comes to chilling out. No matter when you choose to watch them, Netflix has a pretty great assortment of funny flicks right now. Some are throwbacks like Ace Ventura while others like Fun Mom Dinner will likely be new to you (and are still good for some giggles).

Click through to see the best comedies on Netflix to watch during your winter break (or anytime, really).

Anyone who has ever felt a little wayward will be able to sympathize with Greta Gerwig's character Frances, for which the movie is named (by the way, Gerwig co-wrote the flick). It's a comedy of errors as her character loses her apartment, job, and best friend in a matter of weeks, but she still finds a way to keep a smile on her face through it all.

The sequel to the animated flick Finding Nemo is just as cute, especially for little ones. Blue tang fish Dory, who suffers from short-term memory loss, goes on a journey to find her estranged parents with the help of some funny flippered friends.

A crew of improv actors has a hard time separating their performances from everyday life. There are plenty of jokes (and jealousy) along the way as the group deals with the rise to stardom of one of its members.

This one's for all the single ladies. Watch as 30-something Londoner Bridget Jones sets forth on a year of improvement, all the while documenting it in her diary. Bonus points: Colin Firth and Hugh Grant star as her suitors.

Sandra Bullock plays a nerdy FBI agent who is transformed into a beauty queen so she can thwart plans to bomb the Miss United States pageant. What she begins to uncover is that it may be an inside job.

From the creators of Shaun of the Dead, is Hot Fuzz, a slapstick comedy about what happens when an overperforming cop is banished to one of the safest towns. Watch it for the riffs on action films alone.
